- 12 Chocolate coated nuts
For chocolate coated marzipan Easter eggs
- 4 oz (110 g) Chocolate (3.5 oz)
- 2 tbs Vegetable or coconut oil
Instructions
Classic Marzipan Eggs
- Place a piece of plastic wrap over the egg mold. This will ensure the marzipan eggs can be easily removed from the mold. Otherwise, the oil in the marzipan can cause it to tick in the mold.
- Take a small ball of marzipan and knead it with your finger so you have no cracks. Place it into the mold over the plastic wrap and press down into shape. Pro tip - The amount of marzipan will depend on the mold size.7 oz Homemade marzipan, 8 oz Chocolate marzipan
- You should now have a smooth half-egg in the mold. Flip the mold using plastic wrap to remove it from the mold.
- Decorate the half egg with icing sugar borders and blossoms (as shown in the video).Alternatively, you can also attach two halves with melted chocolate to make a whole egg shape. It is kinda heavy (and expensive).
